The French international left West Ham to join Marseille in January 2017 after a season-and-a-half at the club.

Towards the end of his West Ham career, Payet was refusing to play for the club and his exit left a sour taste in the mouths of Hammers supporters.

Payet was due to feature for France in the World Cup this summer, but was ruled out after picking up an injury in the Europa League final last month.

A return for Payet is thought to be very unlikely at this stage.
